2018 Map of Satartia

About this map

The Yazoo River serpentines through this landscape, marking the transition between the flat delta lands and the rising terrain of Potters Ridge. The settlement of Satartia sits at a strategic point where the bluffs meet the river, with its grid of streets including Plum St and Richards Ave tucked against the winding waterway. To the southeast, Mechanicsburg occupies the higher ground, surrounded by several family and community burial sites including McLeod Cem, Mount Olivet Cem, and Hamblin Cem. This area demonstrates a classic Mississippi settlement pattern, where infrastructure like Satartia Rd and River Rd follows the natural levees and ridges to avoid the seasonally wet lowlands near Dump Lake and Potato Hill Bayou.
